iblawi:point of correction, Jumia is and Konga are owned by Foreigners, including DealDey. Yudala seems to be the only indigenous bigger player and it's owned by an Igbo man. Sadly, they came in at the wrong time when recession hit the country. So far so good, I am proud of what you guys have done on this thread. Let me quickly update myself lol. |

| Re: Yorubas Are The Most Industrious,Richest & Educated Tribe in Nigeria & Africa by robotix: 4:23am On Jul 31, 2017 |
kn23h:jumia is not a Nigerian owned company. The reason I called them (Yudala) big is because they launched to compete with Konga and Jumia, except that they came very late when the recession was storming. I thought is that they would have appeared big if not for recession, it cost a lot to survive in recession so I know they are fighting hard to stay afloat. Even Jumia hardly advertise these days, living on past glory, which is a good thing for being early bird that catches the worm. |

Everyone can see hypocrisy written all over you. Were you not the one who first started boasting that your people were better businessmen than others - despite the fact that ample evidence had been provided to disprove that claim?
But since deceit runs in your veins, it is not surprising to see that you still wear your hypocrisy, like a badge.
